What's wrong here ?!

[Kifpe]

Hi.

Sometimes when I start my computer I get this picture when WindowsXP starts up http://hh.sjacob.dk/martin/Andet/WTF1024.jpg
Do any one know what is wrong??

My guess is my graphicscard but it seems ok right now.

It often happens when the computer has been turned on/off a few time a day...

Woah, have you got twin graphics cards?
If its the one, then ive never seen anything like that happen before.

May be drivers as well........try reinstalling/cleaning old ones off e.t.c

 

[Kifpe]

yes, I will try that. I only have one graphicscard...

I have a 9700pro and the same thing happens to me during the Summer. is it hot there ?

it might be that your motherboard / gfx card is overheating / your cooling stuff is failing

Overheating

That could very well be. It stroke my mind before.

Tabks fore the answers!

I remember on my Pc....
Many many months ago..

I left my computer on during a storm(I was actually going to shut it off very quickly but had to shut the windows).

When coming down stairs I heard a huge noise near my computer.

I come down my computer looks overall fine. I notice something though.. My taskbar makes a very odd color change from left to right. It shouldn't be like that.

I restart my comp..it wouldn't restart AT ALL. The restart button wouldn't work. I had to hold the thing in.. After I turned it on.. nothing... Nothing would come up..no Booting no nothing..no light by my button to start on\off.

So I think..aww shit..

I start putting things back into my old HP computer with ME . I just have to put one last thing in there.. I took my graphcis card(Geforce 4 Mx420 PCI..yes very sucky but better than the one in there).
So I do it. The HP would not start up..it came to me..I run over hook my other computer up...it booted up and all worked...

Wierd huh?
A few things got overheated on my Gfx card(Hardly Noticable unless you look for 10 minute straight) becuase my modem got zapped causing alot of heat.

The wierd thing is, is this..
This graphics card..whatever computer it is in.. That computer will not start up in any way. No lights at all, no boot up screen, absoulty 100% nothing. The HD wouldn't start up..no fans going.. Just a very very very very very very small amount. I mean like 2 milimeters worth of things..

Wierd... But why would the HD not start up just because of the gfx card..

Theres a story for u!
